Hello guys.. im new to the forum just stuck with a problem and cant get my hands out of it.
I have Kia Sportage 2014 AWD automatic bought it as used and currently has 148000 km on it as soon as i bought it i replaced the OEM sparks plugs, replaced the coolant, changed the engine oil and filter and replaced the air filter too just to have them on my records.
But later I realized some engine hesitation while on low RPMS took to the workshop and they cleaned the fuel injectors completely thru a machine also open up the throttle body and cleaned it as well there was pretty much carbon build up on that too later reprogrammed the rpm thru obd and checked again if there were any code thrown, nothing unusual there was never a check engine light so.no codes found as well.
However still the engine hesitation persist and its only at low RPMS only when i press on gas the car shoots very fast without any hesitation whatsoever no issues bt when im driving at low speed lets say near about 40 to 50km/hr and press the gas pedal slightly i can feel very slight misfires for like 1 to 2 sec also when the gear shifts at low rpm from low to high engine hesitates for seconds and then becomes normal
I feel the issue is somewhat related to mixing of air and fuel at low rpms only
Anyone else facing same issue or had faced or any valuable suggestion are appreciated
